It is a great adapter at a very low price compared to a very high quality. I also have the original and I must say that the mechanical quality is identical. It must be said, however, that it lacks electronic contacts for communication with the camera body and a "function" key to allow you to choose the necessary settings and functions.

It works perfectly, mounts without a problem and looks pretty well built. On a well-known auction site they ask twice as much... For me, 100% recommended.
In order to use it, you have to program the camera so that it can shoot without a lens (I have a Fujifilm X-E3); otherwise the camera does not detect the target and does not shoot. This can be adjusted in one of the camera menus.

With Fuji charging £150 and Novoflex asking £120 for a Fuji X to Leica M-bayonet adapter I wasn't expecting so much for the modest sum asked for the K&F product. But I was very pleasantly surprised - it is well made, well finished, and snaps into place accurately with no looseness, and no over-tightness either. It's the kind of quality we used to get from respected mid-market independent brands like Vivitar in the past.
UPDATE
Just purchased a NIKON G adapter to go with the Leica M adapter. It really is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the asking price - both my modern "G" lenses and my older manual focus AI/AIS lenses work fine on it.

Ring a little hard, no play more than normal, nice finish. Occasional use = very good and less expensive than fuji. great delivery.
Note on use: the precision of the focus remains delicate with the adapted optics (tested with leica and nikon + optics with large apertures) it follows an inaccuracy of sharpness on the final result despite many precautions, so use in backup only, and by the same preference for fuji optics on fuji cameras

I must be happy with these K&F adapters as this is the fourth one I own. Finish is excellent. Lens mounts securely on the adapter and the other end fits snugly on the camera without any sense of wobble or looseness. I've tried 3 lenses so far all focus well. As I've found with other mounts all lens focus slightly beyond infinity. This is not a big deal but so some care will be needed at wider apertures to ensure infinity focus is good. Docked one star because of focusing past infinity. I'd give it six stars if it was equipped with a close focus helicoid to allow closer focusing.

I am using this adapter to mount my Voigtlander 35mm M mount lens to my Fuji XT10.
I have used similar adapters from other manufacturers in the past and have been a bit disappointed due to things like metal filings being inside the mount or burs and small scratches; however, I was pleasantly surprised when this adapter arrived. It comes in a sturdy plastic box and is wrapped in a foam bag to protect it. It is nicely finished with no dust or metal filings so I could use it straight away without having to clean it first.
I thought £22 was a bit steep, when others are charging about £15 for their equivalent mounts, but it is worth it for the superior quality and improved packaging that I have experienced in the past.
